There are no exact figures yet but divorce lawyers are noticing that a growing number of breakups are being caused by the Internet. It seems faster pentium chips and faster modems are leading to faster disenchantment between spouses. \n Lucinda Smith, a Nashville attorney, told the Associated Press that often what happens is that one person in a marriage spends too much time surfing the Web or visiting chat rooms, ignoring their husband or wife. In one of her cases, a spouse met someone new online. In another, the spouse became transfixed with the Internet and paid no attention to anything else. \n Another Nashville lawyer, Robert L. Jackson, told the AP he has six Internet divorce cases, mostly having to do with one spouse's preoccupation with the household computer. One woman sought a divorce after catching her husband visiting hardcore sex sites; a man lost his wife after she began having an affair with someone she met on the Internet. \n I think if you neglect your spouse and don't spend any time with them, whether you're playing golf or gambling or on the Internet, that would be inappropriate marital conduct, Jackson said. \n Last month, an Alabama couple planned a divorce over the husband's use of the Internet to set up meetings with other women. Before the divorce occurred, however, he shot and killed his wife. \n Some lawyers, however, suggest that marriages that are failing because of preoccupation with the Internet would have found some other way to fail, anyway. Overuse of the Internet was just another symptom for a marriage that already was weak, said a Chicago lawyer.
